Burst of Dawn at Bass Harbor
by Gay Williford

A vibrant sunrise streaks the eastern sky
with bold corals, golds and violets that all
stream towards a very white-lit horizon.
Below this stunning canopy–
an old dock, supported by weathered gray pilings,
protrudes out into calm harbor waters.
This structure holds up a proud red lobster barn
housing traps, buoys and other angling gear.
In the background, a white homestead reigns–
polestar of a family’s long fishing endeavors.
